“In the middle of the night, I had this idea to have my English class write them letters,” said Hartfield Academy teacher Linda Waterloo.

She said the idea came easily because it was one close to her heart.

“My son actually has Capital City Trucking Co., and was telling me how discouraged the drivers are,” Waterloo said.

Waterloo’s seventh-grade class got to work on their handwritten thank you letters.

“I was astounded at the love and compassion they showed, and I shouldn’t be, that is just the kind of kids they are,” Waterloo said.

Judson Cavanaugh, the director of operations at Capitol City Trucking, said the drivers have loved reading the letters.

“They are so grateful and just thankful that someone is thinking of them,” Cavanaugh said.

Cavanaugh said the trucking company is busier than ever before and the drivers deserve the recognition.

“They are, day in and day out, putting themselves in harm's way. They are away from their families and getting us food. If you buy something refrigerated, a driver hauled it,” Cavanaugh said.

The letters from the Hartfield Academy class are on display in the foyer of the trucking company for all the drivers to see.
